"NO ROOM IN THE INN"
I. THINK OF THE REJECTED GUEST.
A. "He was in the world, and the world was made by Him."
1. Think of the irony.
a. The finest Kings palace would not have been worthy, His birth.
b. If it were not for Him there would not have existed an earth.
c. The very people within the Inn owed their existence to Him.
B. Christ had come so that man might live with God.
1. "I go to prepare a place for you."
a. Yet man had no place for Him.
II. THE REASON FOR HIS EXCLUSION.
A. "No room."
1. "Lataluma."
2. Too crowded with others.
3. No place left for Him.
B. Had they known surely they could have made room.
III. THINK WHAT THE INNKEEPER MISSED.
A. He could have hosted the Son of God.
1. Throughout history all would be aware of his noble deed.
2. He could have had the honor of receiving God within his gate.
IV. THE STORY REPEATED TODAY.
A. NO room for Christ.
1. Time for business and pleasure.
B. Think what you are missing by not making room for Him.
1. His love, peace, joy.
2. Think what you will miss.
C. What is it that is crowding Christ from your life?
1. Is it worth it?
2. "What is a man profited?"
3. "What will a man give in exchange?"
D. The Innkeeper knew not what he was excluding.
1. You have not this excuse.
2. Your sin is not of ignorance but - cold, calculated, deliberate rejection of God's Son and God's love.
V. MAKE ROOM TODAY.
A. Open up your heart and life to Him.
B. The place they gave Him was shameful.
